Lorraine "Lori" F. Kilanowski (nee Sloma) passed peacefully in the very early morning of Saturday, November 1, 2025 at age 78. Her two loving daughters were by her side. She is predeceased by her ex-husband, Henry Kilanowski, who she remained friends with until his passing in 2019. They raised three children together. Lori is survived by her children, Carol (Cauthen), Eva (Graham) and John, as well as her grandchildren, Julianna (Daniel Hatch), Mikhayla, Collin and Carissa Graham and Adrianna Cauthen. She was also blessed with three great-grandchildren; Asher, Asa and Alora Hatch.
Lori will be remembered by everyone that knew her as a feisty "firecracker". She had a love of watching cooking and crime shows, butterflies and hummingbirds, and old country music. Some of her favorite times were when family gathered together to spend time outdoors, drinking Pepsi and simply enjoying nature.
Her family has chosen to keep things simple, as Lori would have wanted, with an intimate celebration of her life. If you would like to honor her, they encourage you to make a donation to a local food pantry.
